Photos: possible logo, uniforms for David Beckham’s Miami MLS club?

International superstar David Beckham has committed to bringing a Major League Soccer team to Miami in the next few years.

What will the team be called? While nothing has been announced, a few ideas have surfaced.

Those are not necessarily the only names the Beckham group is considering. However, those three names were used by the group in its recent presentations to the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County and potential investors.

The Post also obtained images that were part of those pitches, including a mock-up of a potential logo and a potential uniform for the still-unnamed club.

One of the logos used in the Beckham group’s presentations, for a team called “Miami Vice,” includes dark gray and aqua colors, with soft pink accents. The letters ‘M’ and ‘V’ form a badge, with an upward-struck soccer ball in the foreground. The kit features an aqua shirt and dark gray shorts with soft pink stripes.

The logo and uniforms were designed for the presentation only and are not likely the final version. The colors, however, are expected to be the same.

A marketing slogan for the presentation, as seen on a poster, is “Welcome Home Soccer.” That could be a nod to the fact Miami hasn’t had a top-flight professional soccer team since the MLS’ Miami Fusion folded in 2001.

Beckham revealed few concrete details during a Feb. 5 press conference to announce he will bring a team to Miami. In a video chat with fans afterward, he said a team name and colors are one of the many issues he’s working through.

“We do have ideas for a team name,” Beckham said in the video, as seen on MLSSoccer.com. “I’m sure people would have liked me to stood on the stage today and say, ‘This is the name, [these] are the colors, but I want it to be right. I know how important a name is to a city and to the fans.”

With good humor, Beckham said one of the many names proposed to him was “Golden Balls F.C.,” which a reference to an infamous nickname given to him by his wife, Victoria. A smiling Beckham said that’s “definitely not” one of the options.

Beckham said he hoped to announce a stadium site, located in downtown Miami, in the next few months.

Freddy, you can’t be serious. That name can’t be serious. Miami Vice? Why not name NYCFC “New York Undercover”. Yes, it looks nice as a novelty but why would you want to correlate “Miami Vice” to a soccer club? Do we really want Crockett and Tubbs references all the time? Vice FC? It does sounds nice but last thing we wanna do is be associated with a Vice Squad. Vice City FC? Ha!

Another thing, why black? So many teams in the league already have black. I have no problem with teal or aqua but if we should incorporate, somehow, the colors of the city flag.

Anyway, while the name sounds cool I think the team deserves more than just a Hollywood nod when it comes to branding.

Don’t really know what to think about the name. Lots of youth won’t even know about Miami Vice. As for the logo, check out the logo work by this group. I think it blows current MLS logos out of the water. http://www.footballasfootball.com

Hey guys, long ago, I went to Miami Fusion’s office to get in to the trials to play in the team at the time I was 19 years old. Their response was that I was too old. I was always the captain of every team I been in. That was a long time ago..anyways.. I would love to contribute to the new MLS Miami team name.

I think the best name for the team come to my mind should be “Miami United”..

Since, this city is a multicultural in all aspects and why not everyone come united and support and make our team strong Mentally and spiritually.

Search for a name that is more creative and imaginative; something ‘organic’ or ‘natural’ to Miami. ‘Fusion’ & ‘United’ are too prosaic and pedestrian and old-fashioned. For example, spread the arms of the ‘v’ and ‘m’ & put the soccer ball with tail in the center as a ‘comet’ (Miami Comets?’) Why not the ‘Miami Conchs’? or even the ‘Miami Locos’? A ‘LOCO’ in southern So. America is equivalent to the Conch in Key West, a succulent abalone or sea snail. Color scheme could then be pearl and aqua with pink/mauve accents. We expect more imagination from a community that could inspire the ‘Miami Vice’ TV series. Best of luck. Will be waiting to buy a new outfit.

Stop with the Miami Vice stuff! It’s like Miami’s citizens have been trying to name a team Vice since the NBA gave Miami a franchise with the Heat!

Go with Miami FC. A nickname for the team can come secondary and naturally.
And stop trying to name the team like it’s a U-15 team with Comets, Strikers, Wildcats B.S.!

You don’t want to go into Century Link Field in Seattle or Portland and have their fans make fun of the team because Miami is named after an 80’s TV show.

If the team is here to stay, and we want to be serious and attract world class players, BE SERIOUS WITH THE TEAM NAME!

When European players are done with their careers they either want to go to NY or LA even though the best fans right now are in Seattle and Portland. Miami is a destination those retiring players would like to live in.

Stop With The Basic United, Fusion, Vice, And Little Kid Or Amercian Names Go With Something That Will Attract Fans Around The State And Country To Begin With For Example CF Real Miami Or European Type Name I Mean David Played For Manchester, Madrid And PSG

I think the team name shoudl be Internacional Miami FC. It incorporates the cosmopolitan appeal of Miami and is classic sounding meaning it won’t sound dated in a few years. Inter de Miami has a nice ring to it. I also think they shoudl go with teal and black vertical stripes for the home kit with either white or black shorts. The away kit should be Teal with white or black shorts and the change kit should be Orange with black or white shorts incorporating the colors of the Miami flag. Orange and white vertical stripes with black or white shorts would also work well with the change strip. looking forward to Inter Miami’s first game!!

Of course the Miami Squad should be called Miami Vice. I would be disappointed if it didn’t happen. And Miami Vice is NOT A CHEESY COP SHOW! It was a ground breaking series that changed television’s formatting-OVERNIGHT!

The name isn’t important as the kit. I say model the colors after the basketball team from Miami, but maybe incorporate some aqua or a different shade of orange. I also think going with a more British-minded name/color scheme shouldn’t be forgotten because who knows that better than an English owner? Regardless, the team should be a welcome addition to the soccer pyramid.
